Jules Olitski
Mozart Night

1992

About the Item

Jules Olitski (1922-2007) is one of Caviar20's favorite abstract artists of the 20th century. Over the course of his career his aesthetic evolved in startling and fascinating ways. In the late 1980's Olitski embarked on a new chapter of art-making. Similar to previous eras, embracing an unconventional tool led to a distinct and new aesthetic. In the late 1960's using a spray gun led to his spray paintings...similarly at the end of the 80's Olitski took up the painter's mitt - typically used by household painters for affects using plaster on walls. His work from the late 1980's and early 1990's is characterized by swirling interlocking forms created with a heavy impasto and thick brushwork in shimmering shades of purples, creams and orange highlights. This large and impressive print is a great example from Olitski's "Mitt Paintings" period. It was commissioned by the illustrious Lincoln Center art program. Quite rare, this work rarely comes available on the secondary market. Note: This work is sold unframed.

  • Untitled (Noir/Blanc)
    Located in Toronto, Ontario
    Guido Molinari (1933-2004) is one of Canada's most beloved abstract painters. Among his accomplishments, Molinari represented Canada at the Venice Biennale in 1968. A disciple of Barnett Newman, Molinari's most iconic works depict alternating bands or blocks of solid color. While Molinari is not immediately associated with international movements such as "Hard-Edge Abstraction", Minimalism, or Op Art; his work can be understood in relation to either. (With this in mind, it would be interesting to compare and contrast Molinari with Gene Davis, another artist famous for stripes). Molinari was one of the key figures (along with Yves Gaucher...

  • By The Lake
    By Louise Nevelson
    Located in Toronto, Ontario
    Collage was an important part of Louise Nevelson's practice. The process mirrored her approach to sculpture; taking disparate elements and assembling or uniting them into a complex whole. Similar to many of her American contemporaries, Nevelson delved into printmaking. She worked with the leading printing studios in America adopting new techniques while expanding her aesthetic and oeuvre considerably. This collage was the final maquette or design, that would be screen printed becoming "By the Lake" (from "Façade: In Homage to Edith Sitwell"). Nevelson worked with Chiron Press in New York, which had opened in 1962 and was just a stone's throw from her 11th Street home studio. The works in this series were dedicated to the British poet Edith Sitwell who passed away in 1964. Sitwell had published a book of abstract poems titled Façade, the poems' rhythms were counterparts to music set by the famed English composer, William Walton...

He attended art classes in his youth and in 1918 moved to Paris to study at the Académie Julian, which he left after six months. During this time, Dubuffet met Raoul Dufy, Max Jacob, Fernand Léger, and Suzanne Valadon and became fascinated with Hans Prinzhorn's book on psychopathic art. He traveled to Italy in 1923 and South America in 1924. Then Dubuffet gave up painting for about ten years, working as an industrial draftsman and later in the family wine business. He committed himself to becoming an artist in 1942. Dubuffet's first solo exhibition was held at the Galerie René Drouin, Paris, in 1944; the Pierre Matisse Gallery gave him his first solo show in New York in 1947.
